The Poet tells the true and unique story of the betrayal of the Lithuanian partisans. After the end of the Second World War and after the second Soviet occupation, the war was not over. It continued for at least another ten years. This war is called a guerrilla war because many former officers, students, teachers and priests of independent Lithuania went into the forests to fight against the Soviet occupiers and local collaborators. The occupiers were unable to suppress this resistance by force and had to use other means. One of them was the integration of local traitors into the ranks of the partisans.
The Poet is a story of a double agent - a talented writer who was expelled from the Lithuanian SSR Writers' Union for his anti-Soviet literature and who agreed to collaborate with the NKVD (the Soviet Security Committee, later renamed the KGB) in establishing contacts with the partisans.
